Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose where the PDF gets split?

After uploading, you'll see a thumbnail of every page. Click between any two pages to mark that as a split point, and add as many as you need.

How many files will I end up with?

You'll get one file for every split point you mark, plus one. For example, marking two split points produces three separate PDF files.

What format do I get the split files in?

All parts are downloaded together in a single zip file, with each part as its own PDF.

Will splitting affect the quality of my pages?

No. Each page is copied into its new file exactly as it appeared in the original, with no re-encoding of text or images.
